I went back to the JSB 25.4 gr. Kings today.... I had to turn the hammer preload in one turn, and shot the following string....

That's 17 shots within 4% ES, nearly 2 full clips, peaking at 61.5 FPE and averaging 59.5 FPE.... The gun is back to shooting stellar.... I tried it at 1070 fps, and the 50 yard group was about an inch.... I was very pleased that just one turn on the hammer spring tightened up the groups to the same as the gun shot at 960 fps.... Since it groups like this, I may as well have the extra 8 FPE, even though it costs me a few shots....

50 yards, 5 shots, 0.45" C-T-C, easily covered with a dime....



100 yards, 5 shots, 1.25" C-T-C, backed up by two more groups at 1.37" and 1.45"....



I'm delighted to have my Hatsan back shooting the way I know it can....
